Infrared saunas have shown promising benefits in supporting cancer treatment and providing pain relief for individuals undergoing chemotherapy. The heat generated by the infrared sauna has a unique impact on cancer cells, triggering an immune response and promoting their destruction. When cancer cells are exposed to heat, damaged proteins on their outer membranes alert the immune system, leading to the activation of macrophages and subsequent delivery of the damaged proteins to T cells. This process enhances the immune response against cancer cells, aiding in their elimination.

To get the most out of your sauna sessions, it is recommended to wear minimal clothing to allow the heat to directly penetrate your body.
If you prefer to wear clothes, opt for lightweight and breathable garments made of natural fibres like cotton.
Avoid synthetic materials that can trap sweat and hinder proper airflow.
Bringing a towel to sit on and another one for drying off post-session is a good practice as the towel you using for sitting on will most likely be dripping in sweat by the end of your session.
It is good idea to enter the sauna at around 45 - 50°C and set the heater to heat up to 60°C. The sauna heat will gradually rise allowing your body to adjust to the heat incrementally.
As it starts to become too hot you can simply adjust the heat control down to suit your comfort level.

Infrared saunas, also known as far-infrared saunas or IR saunas, utilise infrared heaters to emit radiant heat that directly heats the body instead of the surrounding air.
Unlike traditional saunas that rely on heated air or steam, infrared saunas penetrate the skin and heat the body from within. This unique heating method has led to a surge in interest and demand for infrared saunas as people seek natural and effective ways to improve their well-being.
So, how does an infrared sauna work?
The infrared heaters used in these saunas emit infrared light, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation falls within the range of 5.6 to 15 micrometers, which is considered the "far-infrared" spectrum. These far-infrared waves are similar to the heat produced by the sun but without the harmful ultraviolet rays
